Did you ever want to be overrun by bandits;
to hand over all of your things and start over new?
|Dsus4 |D |Dsus4 |D |
while we were out hunting for food our house was being robbed
|C |Dsus4 |C# |Em D|
I caught an apple and she caught a fox so I caught a rabbit but she caught an ox
|C# |Em |Em |D
so upon our return, we found everything gone
which for us was no loss and we started over
|C# Em|Em D|
with a rabbit and an ox
|Guitar Solo|
|D |C# |Dsus4
so they came down from the north carrying all they owned
|Dsus4 |D |Em
with a basket full of food and clothes
|D |C# |Dsus4
they were stopped by a weekend raid traveling the woods one day
|Dsus4 |D |Em
they tried to put up a fight, but lost
|D |C# |Dsus4
so we asked for them to stay with us on their way
|Dsus4 |D |Em C# |Em D|
to have a drink and rest and regain their strength
|C# |Em | Em |D |
did you ever want to run around with bandits;
|Em |D |
to see many places and hide in ditches?
it's not always easy, it's not always easy
when the winter comes and the greenery goes
we will make some shelter
when the winter comes and the greenery goes
we will make some shelter
